just work closely with a good printer. Let them know from the start that this is your first job. Go to the press checks and look closely at the details. Did you choose your colors from a pantone swatch guide or are you working in CMYK?

yeh theres heaps to do there but its hard to find the motivation to climb mountains when your hungover. Which is every day! ha!
More than 20 hrs, to get there i had to go Perth-Sydney-New Zealand-LA-Vancouver-Calgary-Ban... 5 fucking flights!
its a bitch!
wouldnt mind some ardvaarks pizza right now.

the printer is supposed to be good, quite a few people recommended it.
The thing is I'm a few hours away from them so I won't be able to check until I get the proofs. :( There is no print shop where I live.
I got my colors from a pantone swatch book. it's solid coated I think. I'm not sure if I should use the matte or coated cover stock. I like the matte finished, but the colors are nicer on the coated stock.
thanks for your help kid.

I hate ardvaarks. They gave us so much attitude. We ordered pizzas from them 3 times and all three times they were rude and obnoxious.
5 flights, at least you get lots of airmiles.
I have no idea how it's going to be printed. I sent the files to my printer and they will figure it out. Why , do you think it's hard to print colors like that?

I'd say uncoated with a nice subtle textured paper, good luck with that.

wow congrats tim that's a nice invite too.
what is mohawk uncoated.
- piperboytoy0
ok what does it mean when they say 3/3? is it 3 colors 3 sides?
I didn't want to ask the printer because they might think i'm a dumbass

2/1 = 2 colors 1 side/ 1 on the other..
in my case 2/1 = green & brown/ brown
mohawk uncoated was just ref to the stock.. not exactly a premium card, but i love uncoated papers.

3/3 = 3 colors on each side

btw.. i love uncoated paper, BUT...
for yours i would prolly recommmend matte coated.. just so that pink pops and the fine detail is not lost (uncoated papers have a small fraction of bleed).

I decided to go with the coated. I think my printer things I have multiple personality because i've sent her 3 different emails with 3 different choices for stock.
:(
thanks for all your help.

I love the first...blue for boy, pink for girl, brown for earth as they come together. i think its most appropriate...but i guess that's for the bride to decide?
VERY nice job on those.
